Yesterday the Bulls got the taste of pay back from Georgetown as they were beaten down in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament, 69 to 49. The Bulls were cold from the field, going 8-27 in the first half, Jones got his 20 but only 3 to 17 shooting and having to live at the free throw won't win a game. Famous disappeared in the game and was over matched by center Greg Monroe. Gilchrist could get nothing going from the field except for a few dunks, Howard was effective but foul trouble limited him towards the end, Crater and Mercer struggled and did not contribute to the game.
With the lose the Bulls are now off the bubble, according to Joe Linardi of ESPN, but most did not think they had a chance to make it to the tournament to begin with (except the dedicated fans). The Bulls finish at 20-12 and 9-10 in conference play, the best season in the past 20 years and a sign that the team will continue to grow and build from this success. The Bulls will have to wait til Sunday to find out if they will play in the NIT this year (most likely will). Until then they should be proud of what they were able to accomplish this year and get ready for the challenges ahead of them.
